During the twentieth century, artists in Mexico and the United States embarked on the production of large-scale public murals. Compare and contrast the production of murals in Mexico (1920s -1950s) to the production of murals during the Chicano Art Movement of the 1968-1975 period. Think about the themes, art patrons. funding for mural projects, involvement of the government, and the political affiliation of artists. You should take into account the different locations and the different backgrounds of the artists producing murals. What kind of socio-economic and political conditions formed part of their concerns? You must develop an accurate and enticing discussion about the art historical changes for an intelligent audience who does not know about the subject matter. You must reference images and other supporting evidence to prove your points and illustrate your ideas.
